New and interesting items from MyGemStoneBox by Diane

Aren’t these great??!! My husband made these for me and I painted them “gemstone” colors. Just another way to display my jewelry. These should work out well at shows too! In the process of working on the studio, we had extra “cat proof” screen and I asked Fred if he could put something like this together. We had been antiquing a few months ago and in one of the shops a lady displayed her jewelry on the wall in this manor. I feel in love with it!

Speaking about falling in love….. I ADORE these new earrings I wrapped yesterday. After reading Dale “Cougar” Armstrong’s new book- WireWork An Illustrated Guide to the art of wire wrapping, I decided to challenge myself. I’m pleased with the way these Neptune Blue earrings came out! They are listed on Etsy.

Next, I’d like to give a nod to those contributing to my Flickr group: Jewelry Collector Showcase. I love looking through the lovely pieces. I thought I’d share a few:

I haven’t added this bracelet yet…. I’m not sure if I’m going to keep it or sell it!!

This bracelet is so unique! It is from the 1960’s and made from Lucite. The roses are carved on the inside of the bracelet and packed with some blue color that makes the roses appear 3D!! It’s really amazing looking.

Diane, so many lovely things, I don't know what to comment on first! That lucite bangle is lovely! I seem to be a jewelry making book collector these days---you should write a review of what you think of her book, I haven't bit on that one yet! Terihttp://www.sandtcreations.com/wordpress

Dale "Cougar" Armstrong- WIREWORK an Illustrated Guide....

It was my pleasure to receive and review this brand new book by Dale “Cougar” Armstrong, "WIREWORK An Illustrated Guide to the Art of Wire Wrapping". Dale has a unique way of inspiring her readers and to challenge them new levels (yes, I am included in this group!) I would consider this book to be for the intermediate to advanced wire artist and it is packed with tips and step by step instructions for wonderful projects that you can build on and make your own. By using Dale’s examples as a start point, you will soon be on your way to creating wonderful wearable works of art to collect or to sell.

About Me

Jewelry designer and collector- self taught from books and magazines. I continue to explore different mediums and methods. I am a life learner....love to try new things and I hope that is reflected in my work.
I believe my jewelry designing and creating balances me as I have a very analytical "day job" as a quality engineer for a flexible packaging facility in Providence RI. I enjoy my evenings with family and my art.

Our Reviews

"I don't think there's much to improve from my standpoint because I was immediately drawn in by your beautiful home-page banner after your site loaded. Then, of course, came all the gorgeous jewelry, and I love the green ice necklace. Product photos are outstanding and your descriptions are both interesting informative. I really like that you offer different chain lengths for the pendants. Your site is nicely organized as well and easy to navigate. Excellent job done here and all best wishes for lots of continued success!"
